How To Take Care Of Painful Cut Near Stitches Where Wisdom Tooth Was Removed?

Hi. I started experiencing pain in the bottom left side of my mouth on the gum behind my very back molar. It looks like a cut to me. It s a redish-brown color outlined in white and when I try to open my mouth further, the stretching really makes it hurt. It doesn t look very deep. If anything it looks like a paper cut almost. It seems like where my stitches were when I had my wisdom teeth removed in 2012. Can you please help me and give me advice on how to take care of this? Thank you.
